Step 3 - How to prevent new infections

To protect your computer from being infected its very important to keep Windows Updated and all the programs related with the internet, Web Browser, Flash Player, Adobe Reader and Java only to mention the most targeted by today security exploits. Follow the instructions below to keep these critical programs updated:

Antivirus and Antimalware programs
Make sure you have a Antivirus program always updated and running.
Sometimes Antivirus can miss some malware, when that happens its good to have Malwarebytes installed like you have, Update and run weekly to keep your system clean. Malwarebytes is also good to revert some system changes made by the malware.

Keep Installed Programs Up to Date
It's important to keep all other programs on your computer updated because they can also have security vulnerability explored by the malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications to fix vulnerabilities, this can be done manually by using the Update feature included in most programs or you can use one of the following programs to help you with this task:

Surf the Net with extra Security
Every web browser is a target for malware, the bad guys are always trying to explorer security holes to infect the computers, and this is especially true for Internet Explorer because is one of the most used. Using alternatives like Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome can help protecting your computer from infections.
And for Firefox and Chrome you can get an extra layer of protection by installing two add-ons AdBlockPlus and Web Of Trust (WOT). WOT can also protect Internet Explorer.

When installing\updating any program, make sure you always select Custom Installation, this way you can Uncheck any possible drive-by-install (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT clickNext button without looking at any given page;

Always try to download programs from the authors home pages. Today many big download sites are forcing users to install download helper tools that includes Adware, Spyware and extra crap you don't need to install;
